'Diverse' is the word best used to describe Ken's musical background. A native of Truro, NS, the list of his professional credits is impressive. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Regis Philbin, Natalie Cole, jazz great Ernie Watts, Mary Wilson (The Supremes), Dan Aykroyd (Blues Brothers), daughter of the blues Shirley King, Rosemary Clooney, the Temptations, Lionel Ritchie and jazz/blues guitarist Robben Ford are just a few of the artists Ken has shared the stage with.

Locally, he performs and has recorded with Scott n’ the Rocks, The Swell Guys, The Back Alley Big Band, Asia NuGruv, Terry Hatty, Eileen Joyce, The Aviators, Tony Smith & Soulfinesse and Brett Ryan. Ken's ability to play a variety of musical styles combined with his rollicking personality has established him as one of the most exciting and sought after sax players in Eastern Canada.
